The Ministry’s National Directorate of Public Health, within which the PSR is locates, contains a division titled Education for Health (EPS). All GOM agencies concerned with training it was a unit in the Ministry of Education, carrying the unwieldy title of National Direc–torate of Functional Literacy and Applied Linguistics (DNAFLA), with which the PSR had the most frequent contact.
